I’ve wanted to play Dan again. I certainly think we’re all more age appropriate now! There’s never been one conversation. I’m sure they want to stay as far away from us as possible but I love Damon Lindeloff. I’m so excited to see what they will do. I’d love to play [Dan] now but no there’s been no talk, I’m just a fan like you are.”
